Description
If you are looking for a fun and engaging winter science holiday activities to do before or after the holidays then stop your searching and look no further. With these six Christmas science activities, students will practice and apply their knowledge of phenotypes, genotypes, and Punnett squares to create a snowman family and an edible gingerbread man. They will also practice thermal energy transfer with a Save the Snowman STEM challenge, scientific method with a candy cane experiments, compounds with creating chemistry ornamets, and have a Christmas tree debate as the study natural vs synthetic materials.
This combines my two popular holiday science activity products.
What teachers like you are saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”This is my first year in 19 years of teaching that I am teaching chemistry. Thank you for this resource! You have saved me so much time in planning. I was looking for Christmas related activities to keep them engaged the week before break. These activities really helped!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This was a blast!!! I used both parts of the packet, first having the students do the paper version of the snowmen then doing the actual gingerbread men in class. It was a great reference my students remembered all year!!! Thanks for the fun 🙂”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”This was a fun way to introduce chemistry to my 7th graders while also keeping them engaged around the Christmas holidays – I will use it again this year!”
